Hello World!

It’s traditional. Since the dawn of computer programming, the first program any student of a new language or system is likely to see does little more than display “Hello World” on the screen. This blog is no different.

So, why am I here? I’ve been a blogger before, with some haphazard, unfocused efforts that ranged from creative writing to mathematical treatises, and all stops in between. When my wife asked me for assistance in setting up a blog and website for her therapy business, I was only to happy to help, but it was not long before I got the itch to create my own as well.

I’ll certainly be posting regularly about the science (and yes, the art) of software engineering; this will be my professional blog. There will be plenty of “war stories”, but there will also be some more personal posts and opinions as well; maybe even the odd post here and there on some of my other interests. I’m not making any early promises to be any less haphazard; more focused, certainly.

Feel free to learn more about me here; but before I start for real, a couple of quick thank you’s. Hosting for this blog is provided by 000webhost.com, who offer both free hosting and very competitive paid service; I’ve been particularly impressed with them and hope you will consider them if you are looking for a hosting solution. Above all, my thanks to my wife Carri whose continuing love and support is once again behind me on this, yet another of my life journeys.
